We talked 1 just a few minutes before my parents got mad,” said the girl. “They asked whether I liked the boy. I said I didn’t, 2 they wouldn’t believe me.”Wang’s trouble is not strange at all because puppy love (早恋) becomes a big headache for 3 parents and schools. They worry that puppy love will be bad for 4 . Her school makes it a rule not to allow any talk or any physical contact (身体接触) 5 one boy and one girl alone. Many students say they understand 6 parents and teachers are so nervous about puppy love. But some think they are going too far. “We have our own thoughts and w e know what to 7 ,” said Wang Ling.Another girl, Jiang Ting, liked making friends with boys. “Boys and girls can learn from each other,” she said. “My mother asks me to study hard.

The doctors told us my mom might be saved with surgery(手术). But it could also kill her. She chose to have it.The day before the surgery I was off school, and my mom planned the best day of my life, everything I loved at seven and everything that would put a smile on my face. The day began with her waking me up saying, “Kate, I have a surprise for you. Come and see.” The surprise was a doll I had wanted for the longest time. Throughout the day, she told me everything that she thought I would need to know to grow up and be a good person; she told me to be the best I could be andthat I would always make her proud. We had a picnic in the park, and it was so cold that we moved to the car. The day was filled with laughter. For the first time in a long time I could see she was really happy. I would never forget her smile, or the way her eyes shone as if we were the same age. It was the best day of my life, and I will never forget the conversations we shared. My mother managed to live through the surgery. Now when I look back, I realize that the best day of my life could be her last and this could be the last day I would remember with her, the last one we shared. I also understand how unselfish a mother is. 4. Why was the writer’s mother happy that day? A. Because she left her child a special memory. B. Because she understood her child had grown up. C. Because she was pleased with what her child had done. D. Because she wished the surgery to be successful. 5. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggests that ______. A. her mother was ill again B. the surgery was unsuccessful C. her mother was getting better D. the surgery was simple 6. Which of the following words best describes the writer’s mother? A. Hardworking. B. Famous. C. Rich. D. Great. C In China, many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities, because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn't much work there. Services such as hospital and transport （交通） are usually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city. But in the big cities of Europe like London or Pads, people are moving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt （尘土） of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don't want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there. So they move out of the cities. Some don't go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities, other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields. There, they start new lives and try to make new friends. Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don't make so much money and there isn't much work to do. People in the countryside are very different and aren't always very friendly. As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. "It's wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights," they say. 7．Which is NOT the reason for people moving to the cities in China? A ．The countryside is much poorer than the city. B ．People in the countryside don ’t have enough to eat. C ．People don't have much work to do in the countryside . D ．Services in cities are better than those in the countryside. 8．Why do some rich families in Europe move to the countryside? A ．Because they will find good jobs there. B ．Because they are tired of living in the city. C ．Because they can make more money there. D ．Because they like feeding sheep and cows. 9．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph shows __________ A ．they are happy to move back to the city B ．they miss their friends in the countryside考场号_____________座位号_____________班级_____________姓名_____________成绩_____________ ------------------------------------------------------------装-----------订-----------线-------------------------------------------------------------C．they still want to move to the countryside D．they don’t really like the life in the city 10．The best title of this passage may be “__________”A．A happy life B．Living in the cityC．Moving out or moving back D．Living in the countryside六．用括号内所给中文写出单词的适当形式, 每空一词（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）1.She is (苗条的)than her daughter.2.Spain is not a large country.

Perhaps, as a baby, you used to suck(吮吸) your thumb. Of course, you do not do that any more, but you can surely remember your mother‟s efforts to train you. The good habits you now have in such matters as personal cleanliness were part of this early training.We may not suck our thumbs any more, but as we get older, we get other bad habits. We can‟t give them up easily, either. (Anyone who has tried to give up smoking knows this very well!) Each period brings its own problems. In babyhood, it‟s thumb-sucking; in childhood, it‟s nail-biting; in our teens, it‟s smoking; in middle-age, it‟s over-eating, and so on. And if anyone tells you that he has no bad habits, you can be sure that he must have the worst habit of all.56. Generally speaking, a child likes ______.A. sucking thumbsB. biting nailsC. smokingD. eating too much57. According to the passage, now we have good habits such as personal cleanliness, for which webenefit from(受益于) _______.A. the social conditionsB. some strict rulesC. our friends‟ kind helpD. our mothers‟ early training58. At the end of the story the writer says "And if anyone tells you that he has no bad habits, you canbe sure that he must have the worst habit of all". Here what do you suppose the worst habit is?A. Reading.B. Playing.C. Walking.D. Lying.59. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. It is difficult to get rid of our bad habits.B. At different ages, people have different bad habits.C. Giving up smoking is as difficult as giving up other bad habits.D. Sucking thumbs is a young child‟s bad habit.BThe yearly Academy Awards ceremony was once a private affair. Now, because of television, it is very much a public affair. Hundreds of people gather in Hollywood to see the Oscars presented to outstanding(杰出的) actors, and others involved in the motion picture industry. Millions more watch on television.It all began on May 16, 1929, when 270 men and women sat down to dinner at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. There was no secret about the winners. The names of the winners had been known for months. Janet Gaynor, for example, had won as Best Actress. Douglas Fairbanks presented her with the famous gold statue. The little statue was not then called Oscar. Like a new actor, Oscar was unknown. About six years later, it somehow got that renowned name. A number of explanations have been offered for its origin, but nobody knows the true story for certain.Nowadays the results of the Oscar voting are kept secret. Only two people know the winners before the names are announced at the ceremony. The counting of votes is not done by one group of people but by different groups. Nobody except two members of an accounting(计票) company sees the final results.The information is not kept in open files. Winners‟ names are placed in closed envelopes. The accountants each carry a complete set of envelopes to the ceremony. One set is simply a spare to be used in case(万一) something happens to the other one.60. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word …renowned‟ means _______.A. strangeB. wonderfulC. much-dislikedD. famous61. May 16, 1929 marks _______.A. Douglas Fairbanks‟ first winning of an Academy AwardB. the first time Oscar got its nameC. the first time the Awards were kept secretD. Janet Gaynor‟s recognition as Best Actress62. Two sets of envelopes are prepared for the ceremony _______.A. one for New York, one for HollywoodB. in order to be perfectly safeC. one for the ceremony, one for the newspapersD. just because that is the customCBamboo is one of the nature‟s most surprising plants. Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass.Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist recorded one bamboo plant that grew almost 1.5 meters in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo that grow around the world on both mountains and plains(平原).Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green.Many Asian countries have been using bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for building new buildings. As a matter of fact, the cables(绳索) that hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan are made of bamboo. The bridge has been in use for more than 1,000 years, and is still holding strong.In Africa, engineers are teaching poor farmers how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap ways to find water because they have no money, and their fields often die from no rain and no water. It seems that bamboo is one of the best things they can use. Bamboo pipes and drills(钻) can help to make the poor thirsty fields to be watered.63. How is bamboo like grass?A. It is thin and easy to cut.B. It grows everywhere.C. It grows quickly after it‟s cut short.D. It is short and green.64. The sentence “while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across.” means “some otherbamboo plants may grow to be very _______.”A. shortB. strongC. thickD. tall65. From the text we know ______.A. most people call bamboo plant treesB. a bamboo plant may grow 4.5 meters in three daysC. the bamboo plant changes its colors when it growsD. a bridge held by bamboo cable was built thousands of years ago66. Why did the engineers teach the poor farmers in Africa to make use of bamboo?A. Because it is cheap.B. Because it is colorful.C. Because it drills fast.D. Because it is used by Asians.67. Which of the following is NOT true?A. There are many different kinds of bamboo with different colors.B. Cables made of bamboo can last for over a thousand years.C. Bamboo can be used for buildings, bridges and watering projects(工程).D. Bamboo plants are able to grow well in any part of the world.DIn most towns today, you can see teenagers standing over electronic machines with flashing lights, shooting at spaceships from other planets and dropping bombs on strange monsters(恶魔). The machines have names like Space Warrior, Dark Invader and so on. It used to be believed that damage was done only to those strange visitors from outer space, but now it seems that they are striking back.Many teenagers like electronic games so much that they can‟t stop playing. They spend hours tightly holding the joystick controls and constantly pressing buttons marked “fire”. They develop pains on their fingers because of the constant pressure. They play and play that the pains have no chance to cure properly. The rapid wrist movement required to guide the spaceship across the screen causes another problem: the muscles of the wrist and arm become so inflamed and swollen(充血红肿) that they press against the bones. This condition is what doctors now call “Space Warrior‟s Wrist”.Other strange aches and pains are also likely to affect the elbows and shoulders.Another even more alarming problem is shown by the case of a 17-year-old girl, which was recently reported in the British Medical Journal. She had been playing various kinds of electronic games for more than two hours a day. Her father repaired games and machines and she could use the cassettes and systems in his workshop as often as she liked. One day, after playing a game called Dark Invader, she lost consciousness(晕倒) and fell to the floor.Doctors who examined her found she was suffering from an unusual illness caused by lights flashing at a particular frequency.68. Electronic games are found very popular with _______.A. people living in townsB. students studying in high schoolsC. girls working in their father‟s workshopsD. young people69. The case of a 17-year-old girl given by the writer shows that the writer _______.A. supports playing electronic gamesB. feels very sorry for the girlC. disagreed with young people‟s playing electronic gamesD. feels worried about young people‟s poor he alth70.
